Australian Man Who Claims he Is Bitcoin Founder Asked to Withdraw from his Wallet to Prove Ownership
- Craig Wright is a computer scientist who claims to be the creator of Bitcoin. He recently won a case that is still being contested by the Bitcoin community
- After a US court ruled in his favor, he declared that people will believe he is the creator of bitcoin
- However, the bitcoin community is demanding that he withdraw or transfer funds from the 1.1 million dollars in bitcoin that he claims to control
Craig Wright, the self-proclaimed bitcoin founder, is poised to live in a village home after winning a court fight in which he says he was declared the creator of Bitcoin.
Despite the ruling, the Bitcoin community is not impressed and has challenged him to transfer a fraction of the 1.1 million bitcoin he claims to have in his control to another account in order to show ownership.
According to them, if he can do it, he will indeed be confirmed as the Bitcoin inventor alongside his partner, David Kleiman who passed away in April 2013 at the age of 46.

Indiatimes reports the Bitcoin community doesn't trust Wright, and many people have asked him to simply move a small fraction of the 1.1 million Bitcoin into a separate account to prove his ownership, something he has failed to prove so far.
